Ex-Zim Customs officials' reunion

EX RHODESIAN and Zimbabwean customs officials from all over the world renewed old friendships at a nostalgic reunion in Benoni recently. Representing three “generations” of Customs departments – the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, Rhodesia and Zimbabwe Customs and Excise – they flew in from England, Australia, New Zealand, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa for the event, many of them well-known figures in South Africa’s freight industry. Leo Fincham, a former Controller of Rhodesian Customs (Pravin Gordhan’s equivalent), addressed the more than 60 stalwarts.
